Joe,

If you click the name column it should change the sorting to by name and it
should be remembered for that folder.  I'm not sure how to change it
globally but under the Tools->Folder Options item on the View tab there is a
way to reset all folders or to set them all the same as the current one.
You might experiment with that.
